check your earths
a multimeter will show a bad alternator, measure voltage before starting and then start car, the voltage at the batt should go up to around 14 ish volts. If it does the alternator is 99% working fine.
nice one cheers bud, one more thing. do i check the wire from the alternator to the battery yer?
Check volts at the batt, however IMHO there is no way for alt output to have a bearing on this at all. It will more likely be an earth in the car, probably under the knee bolster or similar

well the first time it done this was when i was driving along the motorway and i pulled over and turnded the engine of and it wouldnt start again it was like a had a flat battery. but to answer your question whilst just the engine is running and the heating fully up the engine is not cutting out now just the dash goin and also the interior light flickering.
